We felt that our niece was in great hands and it took a lot of stress off of us, but we were also kept in the loop and involved in decision making. Most importantly, as a result, my niece has developed the confidence to meet and exceed her goals. Her ACT score went up 8 points and she got into her first choice college with a big scholarship! I highly recommend Vault Prep!

One-Timers was the best decision I made in choosing a bar prep course. I signed up for Jason's…read morecourse with no hesitation. I was referred by my colleague who explained Jason to be a knowledgeable, no-nonsense instructor. That's all I needed to know. Organization: The course was very easy to navigate. Jason provides an overall schedule of the course and also sends a daily schedule of the course material which should be completed. This was perfect because I didn't have to waste time creating a schedule for myself or stressing over whether I was spending enough time on a subject. Material: I truly think that One-Timers the best bar prep material you could find. It's very clear, to the point and easy to follow. It's as simple as that. One-Timers Classes: The course has zoom and in person classes every week which is really helpful if you want to ask questions in a group setting. You can also elect to not attend the classes and watch the recordings. The course is very versatile in this way. I found the classes to be very helpful. However, it can become frustrating whenever people ask necessary questions and take up valuable time. I remedied this by simply voicing my concern to Jason or watched the recordings. He truly listens and takes any advice that will make his course better for his students. Jason: The million dollar question that everyone seems to ask is whether Jason is crazy and rude. He's neither. Jason is hands down one of the most brilliant people I have met. His knowledge regarding the material and bar exam is unmatched. Jason is truly there for his students. He will literally answer your call at midnight if you have a question regarding the material. You can't get that with any other bar prep course. If you show up to class prepared, listen and can take a little heat when put on the spot (which I hope we all can since we're studying to become attorneys), you will be more than fine. Yes, Jason is tough on his students but that's because he wants us all to pass. He deeply cares about each and every one of his students and it shows in various ways. I cannot thank Jason enough!

My last review was December of 2024 and I am happily writing another one as we now have had our…read morethird successful experience with Academic Achievers. Our son started working with Jeffrey the August before his Junior year to prep for the SATs. He had tested well on his practice test and had very high goals for himself - wanting to achieve over a 1500 and we all knew he had the ability to get there. Jeffrey worked weekly with our son from August to March, as he was taking the official SAT Nov and March test dates. Jeffrey was super thorough, flexible if we needed to change times or dates, and an extremely outstanding teacher and fantastic person. Our son enjoyed the weekly lessons, tips and tricks from Jeffrey's vast experience and our son kept improving with every practice test and real test ultimately achieving his goal with the March SAT test. We were all thrilled. It was a pleasure having Jeffrey in our home every Sunday and we are so thankful and grateful for his mentorship. We told him if he was still at it in 4 years when our daughter was ready to prep for the SATs, we'd be calling upon his services again! Academic Achievers was also super helpful, checking up on us during the experience and making sure we knew they were there for us as well. We have recommended them to all who've asked about our experience!

I want to begin by saying that this will be my first review and quite possibly my only review on…read moreYelp. I generally don't make the effort to write reviews, but this is a special circumstance. I am utterly indebted to Chris Peckover and could not be more appreciative of his help. He is simply a fantastic instructor. He will push you with your homework, target your weak areas, answer any questions that you have and help in any way possible. Chris is a GMAT expert and will hold you to the same standards. If you need to improve your GMAT score and you're in the Los Angeles area, it would be massively helpful to work with Chris. It took a ton of work on both Chris' and my end, but we were able to bring my score up to a 710. This would absolutely NOT have been possible without Chris' help. I am so thankful that Manhattan Prep paired me up with him. I was recently at an MBA admissions event (at a top school) and the admissions panel announced to the entire audience, which consisted of roughly 300 hopeful students, that if you need help on the GMAT, seek Chris Peckover from Manhattan Prep (I was very excited when I heard his name). Yes, he really is that good. I am sure that students in his classes would agree with everything I have mentioned above, but I feel that I am especially qualified to review Chris because I hired him as a private tutor through Manhattan Prep. This was certainly expensive (on an hourly basis), but for me the cost of not having that extra help and custom curriculum would have been too great. My score increase would simply not have been possible without Chris. He designed a study program for me that was effective and efficient. Although it is expensive, Chris is genuinely a great person and does not want you to overspend. He was consistently giving me advice that limited the number of tutoring hours I needed and from the beginning, he made it clear that I needed to work as hard as possible outside of the tutoring hours so that I would need less of them. If you feel like you need a tutor, I would highly recommend that you call Manhattan Prep and request Chris Peckover. Hopefully he is available!

I took the GMAT in-person class and it was honestly well worth the money. The books were good and…read morethe coursework was really well organized and thoughtful. The in-person class was super helpful and something I recommend if you can afford it. If you're deciding between the online class and the in-person class, some of that should honestly be based on how well you can self-regulate. However, the instructor makes a huge difference as well. The instructor I had, Chris Peckover, was fantastic and made it worth the effort to go to class and of course the extra cost. He made the material a lot more accessible by giving alternative methods to approaching problems and had no issue explaining things again or trying it from different approaches. I definitely appreciated that he was really positive and pushed us to work hard as well. You could tell that he cares a lot about teaching and is invested in your success as well. It comes across in the class and is a helpful motivator. Hard to imagine a better GMAT instructor.

Best Multi's is the only way to go when it comes to preparing for the bar exam. There is no better…read moreresource out there for tackling the MBE portion of any state bar exam. This course is finely tuned to prepare you for all the twists and turns of the multiple choice portion of the exam, which in my knowledge is the reason why many dont pass the bar exam. The structure of the program is also very helpful as it allows you to not only single out subjects but also single out sections within MBE subjects and fine tune your skills within that area. I have used this program religiously in preparing for the bar exam and I preferred it over the programs they provided us with in law school to practice for the bar exam in our last year of law school. Why is that? Best-Multis answer explanations never left me wondering why I got an answer choice wrong. The explanations always helped me understand 'beyond a reasonable doubt' why the right answer is right and why the wrong answers are wrong. This is the key to passing this exam.

Simply the best. Best -Multis is by far the best MBE prep program available. It is the only program…read morethat truly helps you understand the law and not just focus on memorization. The approach to MBE's is crucial to success. You can't fail the MBE portion and pass the exam. It is money well spent compared to Adapti Bar, Uworld and other big bar similar services which will leave you guessing. I wish I would have found it sooner on my previous exam attempts. Don't waste your time or money with other programs like I did because this is the one that will get you to the finish line and increase your scores guaranteed. You will actually learn what you need to learn to pass. I would recommend this to anyone on the fence and feeling anxious about the exam on which one supplements to use to pass or any retakes looking to finally pass the MBE. Any amount of money is worth not taking the bar exam again!

As I hail from Calabasas, and was curiously, unusually, and randomly studying in Santa Monica, I will forever consider meeting Jodi the universe's want and the stars aligning. Our casual small talk blossomed into a friendship and mentorship that has allowed me access to new opportunities, the discovery of a strength and belief in myself that was lacking priorly, and access to the hands-down most personalized, sincere, dedicated, charismatic, and intelligent "college counselor" (she is above and beyond a college counselor to me, but an invaluable guidance) imaginable. Jodi and Aureus Prep are entirely devoted to their students. What you want and aim to achieve is their foremost priority. Jodi prepared me for the college realm, and its application to real life situations. She gave me a realistic understanding of what my academics and extra curricular a had to offer to the colleges of my interest, while fostering a personal challenge to aim higher than I would have thought I could achieve. In the end, with Jodi and AP's help, devotion, and support I was admitted to every school of my choice. The endless hours with Jodi of revising, reviewing, and deciding curated not only an successful college profile and a seriously overwhelmed high school senior, incredibly grateful for her choices, but also a constant support-system, friend, and mentor in my moments of panic and bliss. I am honored to be an alumna of Jodi and AP. As an upcoming sophomore at the University of Southern California studying International Relations and Global Business, I can contently, truly, and highly, highly, highly recommend Jodi and AP for your college advisement. Thank you endlessly and eternally Jodi and AP for your guidance throughout the process... You are truly the best of the best.

Liliana is the best Spanish teacher I've ever had…read more I came to Liliana after working with a previous Spanish teacher for about 1.5 years. My previous teacher failed me in many ways, but the biggest way was the fact that after 1.5 years of intensive classes and studying (which I had to hugely supplement on my own) I still couldn't speak Spanish. I could translate it, in reading and writing, but I couldn't conversate in it (not unless I'd created scripts and memorized them to make them second nature). I couldn't actually COMMUNICATE in it. Which is exactly why I started Spanish classes in the first place! Among many other things, my previous teacher's perfectionism got in the way of how one naturally and completely learns a new language - which Liliana rectified and I will go into more detail later. Here are the bits of pure gold one gets when working with Liliana (please note: I was very well versed in Spanish grammar and vocabulary before I started with her - I was not starting from scratch): 1. Omg, she's so much fun. She creates characters and tells stories and sings songs and helps you play in Spanish. She brings Spanish off of the pages of the books and homework of your average Spanish teacher and she turns it into this vibrant, fun and memorable experiences one would normally get when living abroad. 2. She focuses on verbs. Verbs are the backbone of any language and she helps you figure out shorts cuts when conjugating new moods and tenses you may have not learned yet. ALSO, if you are traveling and simply use the infinitive of the verb you don't know conjugations for, native Spanish speakers will still be able to understand you! 3. Immersion. This is my ultimate favorite part of Liliana's classes. After the first class or two (and possibly depending on the level you are at when you come in) she speaks to you the entire time in Spanish. It's full immersion. You will be taping each lesson with her and listening to it in between each class and it's pure gold and here's why: she's using the language as it's actually spoken and how it will be spoken to you! You can hear how she uses the verbs and their tenses and moods, how she structures her sentences and her thoughts, and the biggest one: getting comfortable hearing yourself as: tú or usted or ustedes - this is huge purely based on the fact that if you're learning the language from books and homework, you're missing the conversationally reciprocal aspect of the language (and you're almost only thinking in yo.) Liliana has an extensive background in how people learn languages (she used to teach for many years in a top university in Argentina!) and she really makes learning Spanish a fun and successful experience. In about 1.5 months she helped me rewire my Spanish brain to think differently and feel differently about the language and improved my speaking ability and comfort 100%! I can't wait to keep working with her and to see where I'll be in a full years time!

I've been taking lessons with Liliana for about 7 months and I couldn't ask for a better teacher! I…read morethink it's important to learn from a Spanish teacher that is from a Spanish speaking country... it creates a more in depth experience of the culture and mannerisms. Liliana has a very balanced approach to teaching. She makes it a lot of fun while maintaining seriousness and focus. Most importantly she is getting me comfortable SPEAKING Spanish. Liliana is a genuine teacher and I would highly recommend her.
